...a good idea for most people that are thinking of taking a look at GNOME to wait for 2.2. Don't get me wrong, 2.0 is great (it's more consistent than 1.4, faster, nicer looking, more usable, blah blah) and even only slightly curious 1.4 users should seriously consider upgrading (the more bug reports the merrier, I'm sure:), but if you're looking for something that'll make your bed, shine your shoes and impress your Mum you're going to be disappointed. 2.0 fixed the engine; the body and interior work is being done for 2.2. Also, by the time 2.2 is out more super-keen GNOME apps (Galeon! Evolution! Galeon! Gnumeric! Galeon! Galeon! Galeon!) will have been ported, so the environment will be a little less schizophrenic.
A bunch of recent GNOME2 packages are available right now (and have been for ages!) in unstable, and just about every new package makes it into experimental about as soon as it's released. Christian Marillat, Takuo Kitame et al kick all kinds of ass, and you do 'em disrespect by not checking your facts before mouthing off.
